There seems to be an interesting collection of ex-Nokia, ex-Ericsson and Finnish tech company personnel though or is that like expecting an Australian soap opera that doesn't have the same actors from Neighbours in it?

Aptly named product ...
since the cost and subscription as t-b pointed out...

It's definitely going "Solu" ...
as in Solu ...without me.

I like what they have done. Would have definitely hoped more information in the kickstart page. There was a vague mentioning of Android app, but nothing else about compatibility or what the OS is based on. I guess Linux is a safe bet. Also nothing on what the fee will be.
If they are thinking that their main source of income is going to be those fees I am a bit skeptic of the funding model. Actually very skeptic.
But as always, I love it when someone is trying to really shake existing foundations and think differently. To take something we already have, have vision how it could work better and really go for it.
I am backing them up and ordering one.

- A small, cube-shaped computer? Tick, seen dozens of those.
- A thin client with no storage and all data in the "cloud"? Yawn. Back in the 1970s, those were called "terminals" connected to a "mainframe". In 1990s, they were called "network computers". Nowadays, the same idea is back again. Nothing is new, only the name.
- A new company coming up with a lot of hype and hardly any details? Yeah, right, I haven't seen that one before!
So, please, pray tell me. What is so foundations-shaking about yet another one?
